To call this a brasserie doesn't really do the restaurant justice. It is a restaurant with a brasserie style. They really do cook all day & the food is good to very good. If you like duck then you are in for a treat, they have so many different presentations that it is hard to eat one's way through the... More

We had a good meal here, although we were there early. They clearly did not have enough staff on and people who came later waited ages to be served. 3 couples on tables next to us left due to a lack of service, so I guess you need to go when they are quiet. My mussels were cooked to perfection... More

although we were given a menu as soon as we sat down, the two waitresses were rushed off their feet and didn't take our order for nearly 45 minutes - then they got it wrong! I had to ask three times for a decanter of water and eventually went to the bar and got it myself. the food was OK... More

Went to le globe on ourfirstnight in cognac we had arrived late and we retired and hungry. We cose this restaurant as it looked busy ,and that usually means good food. Wrong decision the service was very poor and the waiting staff were harassed and brusque to the point of rudeness . They brought us a very small bottle of... More

If only I had had access to Trip Advisor whilst in France, I would never had the misfortune to enter this place. Alas, knowing no better, we found ourselves here on a wet Sunday in Cognac. It really was unbelievably bad - as if the whole place had been through the Basil Fawlty School of Restaurant Training (only without the... More

We arrived late into town after battling summertime traffic and traipsed around for a table for four. Eventually got the only remaining outside table at Le Globe and had a wonderful lunch of two steak-based dishes (one bleu and the other à point both cooked to perfection) and two salads, bristling with foie gras and avacado and fois gras and...

Firstly, the food was okay, especially the foie gras. Other dishes were nothing special, but they have served their purpose in quenching our hunger. The experience was, however, completely ruined by the service. We sat down and waited about fifteen minutes only to be lectured by the waitress to come inside and greet first (we sat down at the terrace).... More

The four of us who visited this reataurant had a superb meal. Quantity and Quality was brilliant and we had excellent service. They obviously had many regular French customers at lunch time, so there must be many happy customers like us.

Two lack-lustre youngsters ignored us and failed in every department. Interminable waiting, dishes that never arrived, no cutlery, not offered bread, waited 45 mins for starters to arrive at which point they announced that they did not have the starters for two of our guests. No explanation as to why they could not have told us that 45 minutes before.... More
